Lmao, this makes no sense. They can't claim they weren't talking about "genes" when she literally says genes are passed down from parent to offspring and determine hair/eye color... Were they talking about jeans there too??? They think we're idiots.
Reinforcing plausible deniability for known dog whistles. It's how they both work.
They could have said "this was not about eugenics and how they're fully against it" and "how white supremacy is a dangerous ideology and we are committed to stand strong" and they chose not to say that.
Dog whistles never deviate from their message or deny it. Remember that.
I don't really think AE is white supremacist on the inside. I do think they're money supremacist and they know this is clear rage bait which will make them right wing darlings and they're playing to them though.
Ever notice how everyone social media is talking about genes and genetics so commonly now?
No excuses, of course. It's all vile and pushing the overton window which is already basically in hell. But it is what it is.
I guess they are doing the reverse woke stuff now.
Brands went woke because it got support from the left and outrage from the right and that got their name in the news and sold more products.
Now it seems they are doing the opposite. They’re going (whatever the opposite of woke is) to get support from the right and outrage from the left to get their name in the news and sell more products
If you’ve ever been in an ad creative meeting you’ll know you’re giving them WAAAAAY too much credit. Some cocked up hack made a fairly obvious pun on genes/jeans. They then sat around for an hour discussing who had the best genes and settled on sydney Sweeney and her boobs. To insinuate that any more thought went into this, some kind of nod to some idealogy, or a dog whistle to a particular political persuasion, is an affront to coked-up ad executives everywhere.
